I am a runner. I may be slow. I may have had to take some breaks due to that pesky foot issue (plantars fasciitis) but I'm a runner.

Furthermore, I am a biker. I may not go a gazillion miles. I may not be able to hit all the hills full speed ahead. But I'm out there. I was able to ride 20 some miles...on the roads and on some hills. That makes me a biker.

I hope to better myself in both of those pursuits this upcoming year In that vein, I was outside today running! WEEEEE It was in the mid 20's and it felt GREAT! I wasn't fast....I didn't expect to be, afterall I haven't been religious about my running.

HOWEVER, that is going to change. I have a few 5k's that I'm interested in. The first one is in March. I want to start improving my stats! I want to set personal records this year! That means, I need to RUN!

How fitting that this blog is about running....because.... One year ago today I started running. I started the couch to 5 k program for the third and what I vowed would be my final time. I vowed that I would push through the hurt and come out victorious! I did. I may not have been religious about running in the last months for various reasons....but I was able to run 2.5 miles today without stopping. If I go back to last year I struggled with the 90 seconds of running! Wow....I've come a long way!

About Me

I am pretty laid back. I am newly single and the fallout of that change in my life sometimes seems to overwhelm me. However, I will admit, stretching out with the whole bed to myself is fantastic. I am determined to get my weight back in check once and for-all as I learn to navigate this single thing. I am filling some of my free time with some various activities.....running, piano and remodeling and refurbishing a dollhouse. My life is wide open before me....the pages are blank. It's up to me to decide how it's going to look!
